How to discover your potentials as a business leader and set a goal you can achieve.

 Discovering your potentials?

Potentials are the rate of influences we can make in response to critical circumstances. It is the ability to make a change from how nature made things to exist or happen to us.

However, belief in oneself when you have not discovered your potential is egoism or arrogance. But, it is your ability to know what you can really do that can boost your self confidence.

These potential self assessments can be approached by taking the following measures.

Leveling up your skills—

doing those things you think you have learnt well.—repeating until you can unconsciously do it. 

Trying new things –

Challenging yourself to do those easy things you thought you can’t do, though others are doing it. 

Find out things you can’t do or change—

the secret of wisdom is the knowledge of oneself and actually going by the rule. Knowing those things you cannot change, things like your height, your race, skin color, and many other things concerning your business.

Setting those little, achievable simple goals, and embarking on them one after the other.

Taking surveys based on your consistency in your business management—

this can be done by asking someone you trust; family member, a friend or mentor.

Taking action to determine your ability

Developing new skills 

Discovering your potential is a wonderful self assessment technique you will never regret using. Self mastery they say is the beginning of wisdom. Knowing what you can actually be able to do can help you never to quit unnecessarily in the goals you set by yourself and loved.

What cause failure is quitting and quitting comes from self doubts. So you don’t need any element of self-doubt in you in order to perform at your peak. What you need is faith, confidence in your abilities, optimism, and testimonies of achievement.—these boost your belief about yourself, and your abilities.

Discovering your potential is all about your sincerity in answering the question “what can YOU do?”

The level of what you can achieve in life is determined by what you believe you can do.

Just as Henry ford, the owner of FORD Motors said, “If someone thinks he can do something, he is right. And if he thinks he cannot, he is also right”. What you believe is what comes real in your life. If you believe you can do nothing, you definitely can do nothing. Remember that life without action is not worth living. Discover your potential today; it will help in no-distant time to stand out in your field.

Be strategic and secret keeping

The secret of creativity is seen as the willingness of the creator to hide the source of his creation from the general public. Keeping some product’s secret from your competitors and customers as well, is a great move towards prolificacy in your business. This is a strong strategy development.

There was a time that I do leak my business secret to my competitors, and after that would come out with little or nothing. When I do that, my competitors, having known the uniqueness of innovations that I’m used to bring onto the market, would quickly pick on those secrets I just leaked and out-perform in it many times than me, the founder. And after everything, I would come out with nothing.

And when my customers discover the secrets or source of making a product, the either lose interest or do it themselves. For instance, if communication networks: MTN, GLO, AIRTEL, 9MOBILE etc. should tell us how they make recharge cards; shall we pay for it again? …Certainly not.

Ok, one of those days I used to leak my business operating vein to my competitors, I found out that this act has been the hindrance I’m having from making excelling in that field; then I chose to use every opportunity of insight I got to make money for in my business instead of using it to make noise outside. 

Strategy is the lifeblood of every business, without it, the business is dead. If you don’t have anything with which you get better or ahead of your competitors, you are not worth it. There is something that will make your customer to come again, and you have to keep that private. Strategies are the powers you have to protect your business from HACK and to influence other people to your interest. Only you should know how you do it.

You develop strategies when you do strategic planning of your business and through your management experience as an old entrepreneur. This doesn’t mean any other type of planning than planning ahead of time, how you will be doing things in the future, that others can’t; assuming all things becomes and remain normal.
